has anyone tried a charentais melon?
i have been lucky enough to see these the last two weekends at the farmers market. pricey little melons with very delicate rind without netting, light orange flesh, highly floral aroma and sweet musk melon taste. juicy, light and just delicious.

There are a lot of cultivars from other places that aren’t commonly grown here in the USA for a variety of reasons.
Pity.
Another good-tasting variety that's occasionally around is Galia, a hybrid of cantaloupe and honeydew.
